Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a handheld stamp assembly. The handheld stamp assembly includes a stamp mount having a top member with an opening and a bottom member capable of being slid into the top member along a first direction through the opening, wherein the top member and the bottom member form an enclosure when the top member slides into and is secured with the bottom member; and a handle coupled to the stamp mount in a detachable manner along a second direction.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
       1. A handheld stamp assembly comprising:
 a handle having a cavity with an open end and a closed end; and 
 a stamp mount configured to be coupled to the handle, wherein the stamp mount comprises a substantially circular opening and a substantially rectangular opening, wherein the substantially circular opening is disposed at a first surface of the stamp mount for receiving the handle, and defines a protrusion disposed within the substantially circular opening for locking with the cavity, and the handle further comprises a substantially rectangular shape knob at a bottom of the handle to insert into the substantially rectangular opening disposed within the substantially circular opening. 
 
     
     
       2. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cavity is a substantially “L” shaped cavity. 
     
     
       3. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the substantially “L” shaped cavity further comprises a projection. 
     
     
       4. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the projection is in contact with the protrusion to form a hook and a lock to secure the handle onto the stamp mount. 
     
     
       5. A handheld stamp assembly comprising:
 a handle; and 
 a stamp mount having a top member and a bottom member, wherein the top member is detachably coupled to the handle and is slidably engaged with the bottom member to form an enclosed space, and
 the bottom member comprises a first surface to be attached to a die face and a second surface having an ink reservoir with a hole, wherein the bottom member further comprises a ledge formed around the bottom member, the ledge having a door disposed on one end of the ledge and a pushing block disposed on an opposite end of the door, and one or more sliding tracks disposed on the sides of the ledge. 
 
 
     
     
       6. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the top member further comprises a substantially circular opening disposed at a top surface of the top member for receiving the handle, and a protrusion disposed in the substantially circular opening for engaging the stamp mount with the handle, a sidewall with a first opening and a second opening, and a pair of position blocks configured to define a path. 
     
     
       7. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the top member further comprises a bulge for engaging the top member to the bottom member. 
     
     
       8. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the top member further comprises an aligning slot on one side wall of the top member. 
     
     
       9. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the sidewall of the top member may be cut at a first angle to mate with an edge formed at a second angle at a corresponding position of the bottom member. 
     
     
       10. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the top member further comprises a substantially rectangular receiving opening disposed in the substantially circular opening. 
     
     
       11. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the die face includes an ink absorbent material. 
     
     
       12. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the sliding tracks of the bottom member is configured to be aligned with the position blocks of the top member. 
     
     
       13. A handheld stamp assembly comprising:
 a stamp mount having a top member with an opening and a bottom member capable of being slid into the top member along a first direction through the opening, wherein the top member and the bottom member form an enclosure when the bottom member slides into and is secured with the top member, and the bottom member further comprises an ink reservoir disposed on a first surface of the bottom member and a hole through the ink reservoir, a ledge formed around the bottom member, the ledge having a door disposed on one end of the ledge and a pushing block disposed on an opposite end of the door, and sliding tracks disposed on the sides of the ledge; and 
 a handle coupled to the stamp mount in a detachable manner along a second direction, wherein the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction. 
 
     
     
       14. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the handle further comprises a substantially “L” shaped cavity with an open end and a closed end. 
     
     
       15. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the top member further comprises a substantially circular opening disposed at a surface of the top member for receiving the handle, and a protrusion disposed in the substantially circular opening for engaging the stamp mount with the handle, a sidewall with a first opening and a second opening, and a pair of position blocks configured to define a path. 
     
     
       16. The handheld stamp of  claim 13 , wherein a die face is configured to be attached to a second surface of the bottom member. 
     
     
       17. The handheld stamp assembly of  claim 13 , further comprising a bottom cover having a cavity for receiving the stamp mount.
